Merge Property Definitions

Property Definitions can be merged together by selecting the items to be merged in the grid view and clicking Merge Properties. The Property Merge window will be displayed.

You can now enter a value for the Merged Property Name and Merged Property Caption. The Merged Property Name is mandatory and a message is displayed if no value is entered into the field.

Click OK to return to the Property Merge window.

If no value is entered for the Merged Property Caption field the value given to the Merged Property Name is used.

You have the option to delete the selected properties after the merge and keep only the merged property or to keep the selected properties and add the newly merged property to the grid list. To delete the selected properties, check the Delete existing Properties box.

Note: If the Delete existing Properties box is checked, all references will be set to the new property.

You must check one of the radio buttons in the bottom pane to select which one of the existing properties values will be saved to the newly merged property.

Note: If the Available for Custom Reports checkbox of any of the property definitions being merged is checked, the checkbox for the merged property will also be checked.
